Lunch, anyone?

Where I work, there are no fast food restaurants to get lunch. Really, the only emergency food place is a convenience store that sells hamburgers with sell by dates two months away. Ewww. Therefore, I pack a lunch everyday. When my pal Barbara Welch set up a Fabric swap for Convention, I knew a decorated lunch bag was the way to go.

These were easy and fun to make. The first one took some figuring, but after that, life was a breeze--until my machine puked up the bobbin and assorted parts from the inside. After an emergency trip to mom, the machine got fixed. Whew! and Thanks, Mom!

I found I could make three bags out of one of our packs of fabric. Very cool. Applique has never been easier with the Big Shot. I just ironed on the adhesive backing, ran it through the Big Shot on the Die I wanted and Voila! perfectly cut pieces to add to my design. Easy.

A great way to show the usefulness of the fabric. I've never heard of a bobbin "puking up", but now that I think about it, I'm sure I've seen it a time or two with my sewing machine. I'll have to remember that term for the next time! Can't wait to spring it on the repair guy.
